Apart from writing to MP / webform there is pretty little that you can do to influence the speed of the process. From application in Oct 2018, I became a citizen only in Mar 2022. So my sincere advice is to not lose sleep over it. Do not compare your case to your peer group - their circumstances will not be the same as yours.
Unless the lack of citizenship is preventing you from taking up a job or impacting your life in any significant way, don't worry too much about it as it is out of your control. In case of an urgent issue, your can apply for urgent processing with documentary evidence and then again, wait for the outcome.
Writ of Mandamus is not a cheap option. It takes time and a significant amount of money without a guaranteed outcome. If you are considering this route, there is a separate thread to follow for those considering it.
